Thanks for the acknowledgement Bullfrog and well done - I spent ages trying to come up with an instrument starting with 'N' to swap 'R' from 'recorder' which would have flowed better with 'troubadour' but all I could find were some obscure oriental ones that would have been too much of a red herring...

Hello pastille, my thinking was
0 = round
ab+o+ut = about
=
0(round) + c.(abv circa = about)

Just a litttle fun for the day. Enjoyed the word. I didn't see the other post (sorry forgotten whose it was), but it was far better put than mine
Have a good day.
Cheers

Well done Bullfrog. Nice clue.

Thanks for your compliment Bullfrog - that;'s
as good as winning to me - better actually as I don't think I would be able to provide a 'virtual prize' being a bit of a novice on the
old computer - I just love having a go.

Well done Bullfrog, brilliantly cryptic! Thanks AB for a word with so much potential.
